An absolutely amazing book! I’m so happy I read this one! It combines social justice, activism, education, and real life examples (which I think is crucial for understanding how these power hierarchies affect our lives).
I don’t necessarily think this is the best “getting started” social justice read (for that I would recommend “How to be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi), but this is such an important read and one of my new favourite books.

An absolutely wonderful book summarizing the state of Race among U.S. students! Very engaging and informative.
I enjoyed that it was filled with history of Race in America, that it offered lots of recommendations for action across races, and that it was book honest and hopeful. The focus on race among students also made the contents of the book feel very easy to grasp because it touched on experiences we've all be a part of in our schooling. This is a book I will highly recommend to other White folks in my life. 100% recommend.

Ok so this was an amazing read. This is literally the book for everyone on race. It speaks on mix raced persons, Asian, Native, and Latin communities. Also gives perspective on how some white ppl process the shift into being an anti racist. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

A lot of opinions covered in the book was exposed to me during civil rights movements throughout the 2010s, and of course they were eye-opening to me back then. Imagine reading this book for the first time in 90s and being exposed to these ideas when I first set foot here in the US.

This is such an important read for all Americans, regardless of race. Parents, teachers, business owners, and CEO’s will particularly benefit from learning about racial identity development and how to have difficult conversations about race. I found this book really inspiring because of its focus on what individuals can do to push the needle towards equality and healing. I learned so much and there are so many resources in these pages for those looking to take action in the social justice space. I’m giving this 4 stars only because sometimes I felt there were too many statistics that made it difficult to get to the point and see the full picture. I would have better appreciated a summary in the actual text with footnotes of the exact data. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book!

Informative book about racial identity formation (childhood, adolescence, adulthood). The author also included chapters about racial identity formation for mixed race and adopted people.
